The beautiful chief Vera. There’s the aura about you I love so much. Even with the worsening living cost in cost, it is still a very good place to live. N500k to N1k for a 3 bed apartment isn’t unfair if we are being honest. Enugu is a very affordable city. Anyway, you seem to suggest that Ndi Enugu don’t have a problem paying their electricity bills, even with the recent hike. That’s a really good thing, and it proves my belief that South East has the most purchasing power of any region in Nigeria. Another thing you mentioned that seem to confirm this belief is how it seems to be a common practice for Ndi Enugu to buy water in whole tankers, rather than in buckets and jerrycans. And I think this is the case for the vast majority of people cos I’ve seen in several videos of Enugu city most apartment buildings have huge drums in their fronts, apparently for water storage. In many regions, people are finding it difficult coping with the electricity tariff hike. Even here in Lagos, people still they complain
People should pay for water! I’d suggest Enugu state govt find a way to privatize the water scheme, or at least run it commercially. The idea that water should be free is the reason why Enugu doesn’t have water in the first place. They need the money to maintain the whole infrastructure. Water shouldn’t be free simply cos govt is in charge of it. When Ndi Enugu buy from those tankers, don’t they pay? Why should they expect it to be free bcos the govt is the supplier??
First to post! A very detailed explanation of expenses in Enugu, Chief Vera! Enugu seems to have a happy medium between a big city lifestyle and a more traditional and laid back culture worthy of raising a family. Now I wonder how they would treat an Oyibo😉?
Congratulations on being first 😀 You’re right about the culture of Enugu. A cosmopolitan city with traditional lifestyle. They will treat an Oyibo well
Great video. Very helpful. Such a shame that things are so expensive now. You missed talking about the security situation. Has it improved? A lot of us in diaspora worry about kidnapping, ESN and herdsmen 😅
Well done Chief. I grew up in Achara layout and i can say it is still the most affordable for the average person just like you said especially if its not a new house. Always delivering excellence. Jisike
This is just hard! Just saw on a friend's status a small can of NIDO on a shelf in a supermarket with price tag of 61k!!! I wonder how people survive this situation😢😢😢
Another interesting report, Vera. The various costs of living you give doesn't sound terrible for someone making a decent salary, but seeing reports about the current minimum wage issue I don't see how people making the current minimum wage can even survive. Is there something I'm missing in the situation?
@@Chiefvera Too bad the legislators can't give the general population at least a little of the favor they give to themselves. Thanks Vera, keep up the good work!
It is getting worst in nigeria in the last 2 or 3 years due to the presence of terrorist terrorising farming community in the middle belt and the south.

Security has quite improved, although areas as Uzo Uwani still face attacks.

You’re right Mark, you’re not missing anything.
Surviving through this economy is HARD, and a lot of people are struggling.

@@takkmoran9770 too bad!
That’s why everyone wants to japa!
@@Chiefvera Tough choice to have to make, but understandable with the current circumstances.
I was in Enugu two weeks ago, I got a plate of abacha alone for N800, fish N700, total package - N1,500
Can you imagine that!
how is cost of living in Nigeria that low ??? it is shocking to me as a kenyan to be honest
Low????
How??
It is getting worst in nigeria in the last 2 or 3 years due to the presence of terrorist terrorising farming community in the middle belt and the south.
You’re right!
